Are you in the mood for a creamy & delicious soup tonight? Make this crockpot butternut squash soup with coconut milk and apple for a meal your whole family will love.
Here are directions for making your soup in the crockpot, as well as how to prep it ahead of time as a make ahead freezer meal. Haven't tried freezer meals yet? Here's a beginner's guide to freezer meals to get you started.
This recipe is super simple to make in your crockpot.
As an Easy Weeknight Crockpot Meal...
Peel, de-seed, and cube the butternut squash, chop the sweet potatoes, and de-core the apple. Add them all to the freezer bag (if freezing the ingredients for later) or into the crockpot if you're making it for tonight.
Add the water, salt, cinnamon and ground ginger, then you're good to go.
Just cook it on low for about 6 hours, then blend it up (my favorite way is with my immersion blender). Add the coconut milk and serve with pita, naan, or flatbread, if you're into that sorta thing.
As a Make-Ahead Freezer Meal...
To make this recipe ahead of time as a freezer meal, you'll just need a few freezer meal tools. The main thing you're going to need to make this ahead of time is something to store your uncooked meal in. I use these compostable freezer bags because I don't love the idea of single use plastic bags.
Here's the general idea:
- Prep your ingredients
- Put them in your (labeled) freezer bag
- Freeze for later
The night before you're ready to make it, just set the bag it in the fridge to let it thaw out.
Cook it in the Crockpot
Once you're ready to cook your soup, you just need your crockpot (or instant pot with slow-cook setting). Dump all the thawed ingredients inside and cook!
Cook on low in crockpot for 6 hours and then when it’s cooked, use your immersion blender to blend while it’s still in the crockpot bowl. Then add the coconut milk & serve.
